How do wildlife documentaries influence public perceptions of endangered species and their impact on conservation behaviors?

Your research topic (1 sentence): it should be a media artifact, a media technology, or a cultural phenomenon that concerns the relationship between humans and the wild AND relates to any of the readings or subjects we have (or will have) covered during this semester. Control the scope of the topic so it is narrow enough to be covered in a 10-page paper; for example, not “survival TV shows” but “survival TV shows in Australia;” not “Google Earth” but “Google Earth and panoptic surveillance”; not “eco-tourism” but “eco-tourism and visual media.”

Your literature review (1-1.5 page): create a bibliography on all the literature you can find on this topic—including both scholarly literature and articles from traditional legacy press or reputable online journals—and then, in a separate paragraph, layout their arguments/positions in relation to each other. Aim to identify either an existing debate or a lack in the existing literature so you can contribute to it. How many sources you can find can help you decide whether you need to narrow down or broaden your topic.

Your research question(s) (1-2 paragraphs): formulate one or two specific questions that you will explore; for example, “how does Google Earth practice surveillance over the Earth and support geo-engineering projects?” You could try to provide new information to inform your audience, or convince your audience about a controversial claim, or make other arguments.

Your methodology (1-2 paragraphs): explain how you will go about finding the answer to this question/problem. For example, “I will conduct a critical cultural analysis of the visualization structure of Google Earth and its relationship with geo-engineering projects.”

These are my past two work experiences:

1. In the summer of 2020, I joined this company for a two-month internship on the recommendation of my family. My tasks were to record important information said by the manager during meetings, to help the manager prepare documents needed for presentations, and to regulate communication with various departments. My manager helped me a lot by telling me a lot of stories about his success and teaching me how to handle decisions.

During the summer of 2019, I did a month-long internship at the credit union of this bank. The task of this job was to use professional knowledge to answer customer queries and to analyze data using office software. During this month, with the help of my colleagues I became proficient in the use of various office software, and I also honed my interpersonal and effective communication skillsIn the summer of 2020, I joined this company for a two-month internship on the recommendation of my family.

Why do you think people tend to be satisfied with the effectiveness of the treatments they receive that are based on the ethno-etiologies?

Many cultures have ethno-etiologies that provide explanations for illness that are not based in science. From a biomedical perspective, the non-scientific medical treatments provided in these cultures have a low likelihood of success. Despite this, people tend to believe that the treatments are working.
Why do you think people tend to be satisfied with the effectiveness of the treatments they receive that are based on the ethno-etiologies?
In transcultural nursing practice, why would it be important for nurses to understand such ethno-etiologies when nurses interact with patients of different cultures?

After mentioning specific example/examples, how do you find out if the policy workes, and accomplish what they are set up to do, how do we find that out (surveys, observations,)

Postwar Japan

Students in this course will write a ten to fifteen page paper describing and assessing events, episodes, developments, or personalities in recent East Asian history.

These topics are not to be simply recounted (told), but instead assessed—were they truly significant, did they have a positive or negative effect on East Asian history (and why), etc. Remember when writing an essay or paper to use the following format: 1) Introduction—in which you state your argument or thesis, 2) main body, in which you support your argument with evidence, and also further develop it 3) Conclusion, in which you restate (and rephrase) your argument on the basis of your evidence A certain length isn’t of paramount importance—you can make your case concisely or go into a fair amount of detail, as long as you make a good argument and do a good job of supporting it. In other words, the length mentioned above isn’t an absolute requirement, but instead a target you should aim for; shorter papers would likely omit necessary details, while at the same time ‘padding’ papers to get them to a certain length is definitely to be avoided.

When writing history, past tense should be used. Also, since we’re not writing intricate diplomatic histories, where subtleties and nuance have to be employed, using an active voice rather than a passive one would be best. Use clear, direct language, especially when stating your thesis.

As for the material you base your paper on–stick to written sources, whether primary or secondary—there’s a lot of information on the internet, but a lot of it is suspect, so your best bet is probably using the Web to point to the written sources you’ll need. Be sure to cite your sources, using endnotes and a bibliography; I’d like to see the Chicago Manual of Style guidelines followed, since they are the standard for history papers, but the APA format is fine.

Your paper topic is due about a month before the actual paper itself. Turning in either early is perfectly acceptable and especially valuable in the case of the paper topic, since it will increase the amount of time I can devote to giving you feedback and suggestions.

You must provide three or four body paragraphs, each of which is focused around one main idea stated in a topic sentence, and centered around the connection between direct quotes from both authors.

ANALYTIC ESSAY 4 (AE4)
FINAL DRAFT (1700 words):
Armstrong, Karen. “Homo religiosus.” The New Humanities Reader Edition 6e. Edited by Richard Miller and Kurt Spellmeyer. Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning, 2016. pp. 2-21.
Dillard, Annie. “Seeing.” Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. New York: Harper Perennial, 1974. pp. 16–36.
Sousanis, Nick. “The Shape of Our Thoughts.” Unflattening. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2015. pp. 50-67.
INSTRUCTIONS
Speaking of linguistic representation in his graphic essay “The Shape of Our Thoughts,” Nick Sousanis claims, “Its wholeness conceals its limitations and offers the impression that it’s complete” (Sousanis 57). Similarly, Karen Armstrong in “Homo religiosus” describes “an appreciation of the limits of language and understanding” (Armstrong 18). Annie Dillard at one point says that “Seeing is very much a matter of verbalization” (Dillard 33) but also discusses seeing “without utterance” (35). All of these writers discuss language, its limits, and foreground the importance of the imagination.
For your fourth analytic essay assignment, write an essay in response to the following question:
What role does the imagination play in determining language’s limits?
Your essay should put forward an original thesis that responds to this question, drawing from the terminology and examples discussed by Armstrong, Dillard, and Sousanis to do so.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
Have you considered how to specify your terms to respond to the prompt?
Imagination:
Is the imagination fantastical? playful? serious? mythical? rational? descriptive? emotional? expressive? attentive or inattentive? Interested or disinterested? conscious or unconscious?
Does it play a role in ritual? in expectation? in convention? in story? in identity? in perception? in empathy? in communication? in logical understanding?
Language:
What do languages allow us to do? How well do they accomplish this?
What different kinds and modes of languages do you see in the readings? What relation do they have to imagination?
What counts as a language? Is it verbal? spoken or written or thought? facial or gestural? Is it linear? metaphoric? imagistic? narrative? persuasive? factual? impressionistic? personal or communal? standardized?
Limits:
Does a limit disable or enable? To the extent that language has limits, is this confining or expanding?
What aspects of language can be limiting or limited? signs? concepts? abstraction? mediation? conventions of structure and sense? descriptions? expressiveness? representability? thinkability? universality of cultural habits? experientiality? presence? accuracy? honesty? communication? connection? embodiment? self-reflection?
What is the ineffable? Are there aspects of experience that remain outside of language? If so, why?
FINAL DRAFT REQUIREMENTS
